GIF repository

The trite old saying holds some truth: a picture is often worth quite a few words. So let's create our own resource of short (5 - 25 second) clips of players. Let's keep the text to a minimum, unless we're describing the gif briefly so that others can search for it more easily.

Example: "Kemoko Turay" and "LB wheel route coverage" would work for the first and third of these plays. Ignore the second play (I didn't have time to cut it out of the clip), but watch how comfortable Turay is in coverage as a big LB:

I should have more time soon to cut my own clips, but for now, here are a few plays from Burks at the Senior Bowl. Remember that he was a late addition, and didn't get the benefit of practice / preparation for the week leading up to the game.

Here’s a very interesting gif-storm from Jonah Tulls. Genard Avery, linebacker at Memphis. He’s 6’1, 248lbs and ran 4.59 with a 6.9 3 cone, benched 26 times and had a 36” vert. That’s top notch athleticism for someone of that size.

Seriously, check these gifs out because there are some special plays on display. The link takes you to a twitter moments page with all the gifs. Avery is no 6.

The Reddick comparisons might not even be hyperbole. Avery looks like what we want Roberts to be. Thanks for this! Binky engaged.

I watched one of his cut ups on YouTube and third day is probably about right, he’s not necessarily a starter yet but the tools are most definitely there - and yes, I think he’s an improvement on Roberts.

Lifted this one from Pat's Pulpit, but it's a nice view of Hubbard's smooth change of direction and plus quickness. Mockdraftable.com lists Bosa as his nearest match; I'm not sure he's anywhere near as refined, but that's not a bad ceiling if he improves his technique.

Whatever it takes I guess. Don't be surprised if he goes before we pick. Fill in the blank: James, Fitzpatrick, Harrison, ______? Bates has some hype. White didn't do all the tests. Reid dominated, and has a brother playing well. Size, smarts, stats; he will rise.

Look for CB and safety clips later today. Some really positive stuff from Nick Nelson, and a mixed bag from both Godwin Igwebuike and Duke Dawson. I've been trying to finalize my rankings in the secondary.

Edit: tape > measurables. By the numbers, Igwebuike should be my favorite player ever, but his tape is so inconsistent. Look at this absolutely fantastic list of comps:
